IT IS NOT UNUSUAL April Has Made Some Pretty Good Maries for ftnow In Years Past, as summaries Show. It remained for April, the month of showers, flowers and Easter, to break the season's record for snowfall. The instruments at the local weather of fice measured, two and a half Inches of snowfall Saturday. This Is the heaviest fall for the entire winter. It commenced snowing Saturday morn ing at 9:15 o'clock, and with the ex ception of a short respite at noon, snowed until after midnight. At times during the evening the Btorm attain ed the proportions of a blizzard. From 12:30 o'clock to 1:15 o'clock Saturday afternoon the storm abated,, tout con tinued again until after midnight. It was one of the stormiest Easter eves that one can remember, although some of the weather sharks were of the opinion that one Easter day about twenty years ago stormy as Saturday was. Easter, however, com ing as It does in March or April can not be considered any weather cri terion. The local weather records give some interesting figures for* April snows. On April 17, 1912. there was a fall of six inches of snow, which melted almost as fast as it fell. On April 8, 1903, there was a fall of six Inches of snow. In 1899 on April 1 and 2 there was three Inches of snow fall recorded. In 1893 on April 20, 21 and 22 there was a snowfall of 2.4 inches. The snow Saturday night was driv en by a north wind and the north and northeast corners of buildings, and the north sides of trees were covered with snow yesterday morning. When the sun got its warm rays on the Bnow banks, however, there was little left but a nice damp place. The temperature took drop down to 28 last night. IOWA GREATER ASS'N TO HELP Will Asstet State and Nation With All Facilities of Organization —Advocate* Larger Crtrps. To help, the government as may be best in recruiting armies, increasing food production and listing Industrial plants available for war purposes, the Greater Iowa association through sec retary Woodworth Clum has offered all of Its faculties to Colonel George \yr. Burr of Rock Island arsenal and to the state authorities. "During this crisis we propose to work In terms of the nation," says a letter sent out Saturday to each mem ber of the association.- "We have been working in terms of a state. The officers of the Greater Iowa associa tion believe that in this hour of na tional emergency, the facilities of this organization should 'be made available, wherever possible, in carrying out the wishes of our national government. In a letter to Dr. R. A. Pearson, president of Ames college and chair man of the committee appointed by the governor to .bring about a greater food production in Iowa, the Greater Iowa association says: 'It Is unfortunate, indeed, that the extremities of internatlon need should constitute the force that Impels us now towards a more Intensified culti vation of this wonderful soil of Iowa, and yet, this is but the repetition of history Impending danger of some score has almost always teen a princi pal factor in changing the habits of a people. An Increase of production of ten bushels of coin to the acre would mean an increase of 100,000,000 of bushels in Iowa. The 3a.me relative Increase In other productions in this state would fre a mighty factor in alle viating th© world's food shortage. We are with, you and will consider it a privilege to be called upon." "Iowa and the nation are fortunate in the adopted plans looking to great er food production and utilization, as well as conservation of our natural resources. The committee of whlob you are chairman will do a great work for both the state" and nation and may be a far greater factor than we now suspect In the maintenance of Ameri can ideals of citizenship. Says England 8ta«ted War. [United Press Leased Wire Service.] LEEDS, England, April 9.—Charge that the world's war came about as the result of England's secret treaties, especially "with the corrupt govern ment lately controlling Russia" was made by President T.

"If the British government had kept the nations as carefully Informed preceding the war as President Wilson had, there would have been no se crets," Jowett asserted. "The Rus sian revolution of nine years ago would have succeeded If Britain had permitted it."

WANT IOWA MEN TO GO Joint Appeal Is Made Whloh Puts Vital Punch into Re cruiting in Iowa Cities. DES MOINES, Iowa, April 9.— What is considered the vital pnnch was put into the campaign for 4,000 more recruits for the Iowa National guard today when Chas. A.. Rawson, chairman of the republican state cen tral committee, and Dr. J. W. Rey nolds, chairman of the democratic state central committee, cast aside party differences and Joined in an appeal to their 5,000 precinct and party workers all over the state to go to work end secure the needed tnen. Never before in the history ot Iowa has such a movement been started and the effect of using the two powerful political machines in the same campaign to uphold the honor of Iowa as a loyal and patri ots state of the union will he watch ed with interest, all over the land. Every one of the 6,000 precincts and other workers in the state is di rected to secure from the poll books in his precinct the names of young men who would make good soldiers and personally solicit these men to enlist in the national guard, and de fend their country from a foreign foe. Chairman Rawson signed the joint letter at the state house Saturday aternoon and Dr. J. W. Reynolds ap proved the communication over the telephone from his home In Creston and authorized the use of his signa ture. Letter to Workers. The joint letter to party workers follows: Des Moines, Iowa, April 9, 1917. To Party Workers: The undersigned, chairmen of the democratic and re publican state central committees of Iowa, cast aside party differences in thlB hour of the nation's need and 'join hands in an effort to secure 4,000 more recruits for the Iowa national £uard in the shortest possible time. The United States is at war with the imperial government of Germany and Iowa must do her part and do it. with an energy and united effort which will attract the applauding at tention of the rest of the nation. When the call came for troops in '61 the response was prompt and im mediate. When the country asked for volunteers in '98 our young men rallied to the colors and fought in Cuba and the Philippines. Now that the nation is at war with one of the greatest military powers in the world, Iowa must again respond with a willingness and promptness, a wholesouled loyalty ready for sacrifice, that will be an object lesson and inspiration to the people of the other states in the union. Iowa with a population of 700,000 In *61 sent 78,000 men to the civil war. Iowa today with over 2,000,000 people can send a proportionate number if need be. The first call Is for 4,000 men to fill the ranks of the Iowa national guard, our first line troops, needed at once. Let the call be answered in stantly. Party workers of the republican and democratic parties who receive this letter are earnestly directed to use their best efforts to secure the men quickly. Go over the poll books in your precinct and secure from BROKEN DOWN IN HEALTH Woman Tells How $5 Worth of Pinkham's Compound Made Her WelL a, Oh. In health from a displacement.

Des Moines Register: Representa tive McKellar of Tennessee has pre sented figures to the house commit tee on military affairs showing that desertions are much greater in the regular army than in the national guard. As one of the principal argu ments against the national guard, a year ago, was Its undependability in the event of a call to federal service, Mr. McKellar has rendered a real service in analyzing the desertions. His tables for the month of guard mobilization follows: T^"™'VO^fT endurance In this WRKGLEY flavor! It lasts—l-a-s-t-s—L-A5-T-S! Speaking of endurance—two athletes walked an atkday race.
